How to Play: Tokyo Highway

NOTE: This video coves the four player version of the game, but the rules are the same for the two player version minus the structures.
BGG:
In Tokyo Highway, players compete to place all of their cars on the road first - but to do that they have to build the roadways so that they have somewhere for their cars to go!
Over the course of the game, players construct columns of varying heights by using the 88 squat gray and yellow pillars in the box, then connect those columns with sticks that serve as roadways, with the column you create usually not being the same height as the one it's connected to. When you place a highway that passes under or over an existing highway, you get to (carefully!) place a car on that highway. Place a highway that both goes over and under other highways, and you can place two cars!
The yellow cylinders allow you to create a column the same height as another while also allowing you to fork the roadway to create more twists and turns.
The first player to place all ten of their cars - with or without using tweezers - wins!
This version of Tokyo Highway includes both the original base game and the expansion that allows for games with up to four players - not to mention four buildings that give additional obstacles while trying to lay down the concrete.

Great video! Love that you explain (and show the placement rules). Only (minor) error I spotted was during your setup explanation, you state each player gets 12 roads in a 4-player game (when it should be 9). Otherwise a great video!

Good Call! Sorry bout that! 😅

Great video (soundtrack aside). At 7:04 there seem to be way more cars placed than crossings - the three greens for example - or am I missing something? Thanks!

Great video but skip or at least lower the sound track. It is super annoying.

[@AnthonyFrancisJones]

Agreed - really helpful video but the audio adds nothing - just distracting. Excellent explanation regardless.

[@nescaffier1524]

Why aren't the roads in tokyo highway painted to match the cars?

[@GreatOaksTavern]

Thanks for the question, sorry for the super late reply... I believe it's because with different player counts each player gets a different number of roads, and even the two player version of the game could be played with three or more if you had two copies. I hope that answers your question!

Thanks. At the end of our highway, can we violate from puting one column more or less than the previous one? Can we connect a two or three or more part column to the ground?

[@AnthonyFrancisJones]

@@Thebiggame-dc8ek I don't think the rules are interpreted in this way. It has to be a single column to ground - but you can of course have your own meta/house rules and why not!

I can't hear you over the stupid whistling soundtrack
